Context of Luke 9:36
34While he was saying this, a cloud overshadowed them. They were frightened as they went into the cloud. 35A voice came out of the cloud and said, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to him!” After the voice had spoken, they saw that Jesus was alone. The disciples said nothing, and for some time they told no one about what they had seen. 37The next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd met Jesus. 38A man in the crowd shouted, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son. He’s my only child.

Commentaries on Luke 9:36
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 28-36Verses 28-36 See an account of the transfiguration in Matthew 17:1-13, and Mark 9:2-13. Luke 9:29 The fashion - The “appearance.” Glistering - Shining like lightning - of a bright, dazzling whiteness. As Mark says, “more white than any fuller could make it.” Luke 9:31 In glory - Of a glorious appearance. Of an appearance like that which the saints have in heaven. His decease - literally, his “exit” or “departure.” The word translated here “decease” - that…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 28-36Verses 28-36 Christ's transfiguration was a specimen of that glory in which he will come to judge the world; and was an encouragement to his disciples to suffer for him. Prayer is a transfiguring, transforming duty, which makes the face to shine. Our Lord Jesus, even in his transfiguration, was willing to speak concerning his death and sufferings. In our greatest glories on earth, let us remember that in this world we have no continuing city. What need we…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 28-36At the transfiguration, Jesus revealed his true glory in the presence of three disciples. This confirmed Peter's belief that Jesus was the Christ. Moses and Elijah confirmed that Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah (the Christ, God's chosen king).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3636. Jesus was found alone--Moses and Elias are gone. Their work is done, and they have disappeared from the scene, feeling no doubt with their fellow servant the Baptist, "He must increase, but I must decrease." The cloud too is gone, and the naked majestic Christ, braced in spirit, and enshrined in the reverent affection of His disciples, is left--to suffer! kept it close--feeling, for once at least, that such things were unmeet as yet for the general…Read the comment
